Okay, the incubator is ordered. I'm confused why the noisy roster suggested the other candler to Sally. I guess he was just making noise.
So, I ordered the deluxe kit, as well as the cable to attach it to a car battery. For $12, it's worth the peace of mind knowing I have a back up in case of a power outage.
It will be here sometime this week. After cleaning and airing it out (one person mentioned chemical fumes) I can transfer all of my eggs to it! Assuming they are doing okay. It's too soon to see anything, but I'll know by then.

Good morning all! Woke up to 4 more poults in the bator, which brings me to 10 so far. The last 3 hopefuls are pipped and wiggling my 5 week old silkies are taking turns caring for the poults in the brooder while my NYD HAL BCM chicks are enforcing the rules lol. I need to go get another heat lamp tonight so I can get my big brooder set up and move some of these guys out there. It's just SO cold out!

These are 100% lousy photos but I guess that's not what a tablet is designed for.

After coming home, from 3 days away, I am realizing the battery inside the remote to the digi thermometer was jogged loose. After 6 hours of (suspiciously) the same exact reading, I discovered it. I'm guessing the actual temps were somewhere around 98 degrees...for God knows how long. Good news is, when I candled tonight (Day 8), most air cells looked great and there are signs of life in 29/45, with 6 being supermarket eggs (they account for a big ZERO in the live category). We have: 1 Olive Egger, 2 Splash Marans, 8 BCM, 1 Lavender Cuckoo Orpington, 5 Lav. Orpingtons,1 Frizzle, 4 Crested Cream Legbars, 3 Bielefelders and 4 Silkies (thanks AGAIN Kathy @Jessimom!)... In the ones that are viable at this point, there was still a lot of movement. I had to make a run to the 24 hour pharmacy for my 5 year old (ear infection...apparently

)... I caught all this when I came home and checked on the babies...thank goodness! I'm up now and watching all 3 thermometers until everything settles out... Talk to me about the damage.
